How to nail effortless hair in less than 10 minutes

My secrets revealed.

Let’s face it, perfect hair is pretty high up on the list of things that would make life just that little bit easier. When you’re busy and rushing around in the morning to get ready, it can definitely be hard to make effortlessly undone hair a priority. I tend to subscribe to the less is more belief system when it comes to beauty, and as such, 10 minutes is the most I’ll allow myself to prep those tresses in the morning. The good news? It can be done, and it just got a whole lot easier thanks to the new Dyson Supersonic, aka the hair dryer that’s going to change your morning routine for the better.

To get started, I flick my Supersonic to the highest settings (fast drying speed and heat) and work straight away on getting my hair nice and dry in flash. High velocity airflow means it takes about half the time of your usual hair dryer, and you don’t need to worry about applying any products prior - the controlled temperature settings eliminate the risk of any extreme heat damage to your hair.

Once your hair is just a touch away from being fully dry, it’s time to seperate it for styling. Use a clip or hair tie to divide your hair into 2-4 layers, depending on how thick it is. Once you’re ready to go, attach the Dyson Styling concentrator to your dryer (it’s magnetic and couldn’t be easier!) and get to work on creating those effortless waves.

Using the nozzle is a great way to achieve a smooth and sleek wave which will still hold for the day. Simply wrap your hair around your brush (you can use your fingers to toussle too) and start from the top of your hair, working your way down with the styling concentrator. Once you have completed a section, give it a loose brush through with your fingers, and repeat with the top section of your hair.

Now, you’re on the home run, and you’ll still have time to grab that latte on your way to work! To finish, I simply give my fringe a quick dry so that it’s smooth, but still piece-y. You can also lightly work around the crown of your head with the smoothing nozzle to tame any stray flyaways. Because the hairdryer is relatively light and easy to hold (the motor is in the handle, instead of the head), you won’t be experiencing that arm fatigue you usually feel around now (we’ll save that for Pilates).

One quick check in the mirror, and it’s out the door with your effortlessly cool French women waves, no products required. I’m calling it, the Dyson Supersonic is a girls’ new best friend.
